Chapter 164 Boyfriend The next morning, Mingxi was...
The next morning, Mingxi woke up to Zhao Sulan's calls. As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt a throbbing headache, as if her head was stuffed with a lump of solidified paste, which was very uncomfortable.
She rubbed her head, slowly walked out of the house, saw Zhao Sulan, and asked with a pout, "Mom, how did I get home last night?"
Her memory of last night only extends to the dinner table, where she drank a glass of baijiu (Chinese liquor). After that, her memory is fragmented and incoherent.
"How did you get back?" Zhao Sulan: "Wei Ning brought you back."
Zhao Sulan glanced at Mingxi and said indifferently, "Last night you got drunk and buried your face in Wei Ning's arms. I couldn't pull you away, so I had no choice but to have Wei Ning bring you back."
"What?!"
Mingxi stared in shock.
She buried her face in Wei Ning's arms and couldn't be pulled away.
How could she possibly do such a thing?!
But as soon as she thought that, several images popped into her mind: Wei Ning coaxing her to drink tea, and her clinging to Wei Ning's waist, refusing to let go.
There was even a scene where she sat on the back of a bicycle, looking at Wei Ning, and said she liked it.
Mingxi pressed her head and shook it. What had she done last night?!
Zhao Sulan: "Your head still hurts, right? I made some honey water, drink some first. I'll go cook. What do you want to eat? Some stir-fried noodles or dumpling soup?"
"Dumpling soup, tomato dumpling soup!"
Mingxi swallowed hard. Her head was throbbing, her throat was dry, she felt dizzy, and her stomach was churning. All she wanted was some hot, sour soup.
Zhao Sulan: "Okay, I'll go get it now. You should drink some honey water."
Mingxi sat down, obediently picked up the teacup, and drank the hot honey water, which made her feel a little better.
She slumped onto the sofa, vowing to herself that she would never drink again, and even if she did, she would never get drunk again!
Being drunk is really unpleasant!
A knocking sound suddenly rang out. Mingxi got up, slowly went to the door and opened it. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Weining standing at the door with two bottles of yogurt in his hand.
When Mingxi saw Wei Ning, she thought of how she had been so unrestrained in his arms the night before, and her face flushed. She forced a serious expression and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Wei Ning raised his hand: "I brought you some yogurt. You must be feeling unwell on the second day of a hangover. Drinking some yogurt can help."
Wei Ning came to her door with gifts to show his concern, so Ming Xi shouldn't have been stern, either out of courtesy or reason.
She softened her expression and said, "Oh, thank you."
She took the yogurt and prepared to close the door and see the guest out: "I'll drink the yogurt. If you're not busy, then..."
Before she could finish speaking, Wei Ning laughed and said, "So eager to get rid of me, looks like you haven't lost your memory?"
Mingxi's breath hitched, and she abruptly looked up at him.
Wei Ning chuckled and said, "You still remember what happened last night? You remember holding me tightly and not letting go, and you remember saying you liked me?"
"you!"
Mingxi pursed her lips, her face as red as an apple.
Why is Wei Ning deliberately bringing up her embarrassing moment from last night?
After a brief moment of embarrassment and annoyance, Mingxi became quite self-righteous.
Yes, she was clinging to Wei Ning and wouldn't let go last night, what's wrong with that?
Wei Ning didn't refuse!
If he's a grown man and really doesn't want her to hold him, wouldn't it be easy for him to get rid of her?
I didn't refuse then and just let her hug me, so why bring up old grievances now!
Mingxi became more and more convinced that she hadn't done anything wrong. She straightened her back and said nonchalantly, "Yes, I hugged him, so what?"
Hearing her say that, Wei Ning pouted and looked aggrieved: "You hugged me and said you liked me, so you should take responsibility for me."
Mingxi: "What the hell?"
Wei Ning: "I said, you have to take responsibility for me. Last night, Aunt Zhao and Guan Lixin both saw you hugging me. My innocence is gone. You should take responsibility for me."
Mingxi: "What responsibility do you expect me to take, you're a grown man?"
Wei Ning: "I don't care. Aunt Zhao and Guan Lixin saw it last night. I'm a perfectly innocent young man, and you hugged and touched me like that. How am I supposed to date someone after this? You have to take responsibility for me and be my girlfriend. Otherwise, how will I ever be able to face anyone again?"
He spoke with a hint of grievance, but a slight smile remained on his face as he stared intently at Mingxi.
Wei Ning was handsome, with red lips and white teeth, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. At this moment, he had a slight smile on his face. Ming Xi was standing face to face with him and could clearly see her own reflection in Wei Ning's eyes. Her face flushed even more.
Wei Ning suddenly softened his voice: "Please consider me. I think I'm a pretty good person. I'm good-looking, obedient, a good cook, and have a good temper. We even grew up in the same alley, so we know each other well."
He said, "My mom said that when looking for a partner, it's best to find someone you know well."
Mingxi glanced at him and noticed that he clenched his fists, the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, and then he suddenly smiled.
This person wasn't as nonchalant as he appeared.
She teased Wei Ning on purpose: "My mom also said that the worst kind of boyfriend you can find is one who keeps calling you 'my mom's boyfriend,' because such men are all mama's boys and won't care about their wives."
Even though Wei Ning had already imagined all sorts of answers from Ming Xi in his mind, he never expected Ming Xi to say this.
He was momentarily stunned, and subconsciously blurted out, "Mom is right."
Mingxi: "??? Who are you calling 'Mom'? That's my mom!"
Wei Ning: "Then... Aunt Zhao is right?"
Mingxi snorted: "That's more like it."
She glanced at Wei Ning and, taking the initiative, asked, "You want to be my girlfriend?"
After discovering that Wei Ning wasn't as nonchalant as he appeared, the relationship between the two instantly reversed, with Ming Xi taking the initiative instead of Wei Ning.
Wei Ning met her gaze: "Yes."
Mingxi: "Then you should think it over carefully. Not just anyone can be my boyfriend."
Wei Ning curled the corners of his lips: "I'm not an ordinary person."
Mingxi scoffed softly; this guy was quite narcissistic.
Mingxi: "Okay, I promise you."
To be fair, Mingxi did have feelings for Weining; otherwise, she wouldn't have continued to associate with him even though she knew he was pursuing her.
She wasn't the type to compromise herself, so since she had feelings for Wei Ning, dating him wasn't out of the question.
However, she immediately added, "But let me make this clear first, if you don't satisfy me, I'm going to kick you out."
Wei Ning nodded seriously: "Okay."
Although he was much more proactive in his relationship with Mingxi, Mingxi always held the final say.
"Okay, so from today onwards you're my boyfriend."
Now that Wei Ning is her boyfriend, she should give him some sweetness.
Mingxi patted Wei Ning's head and sweetly called him "boyfriend." Seeing Wei Ning's ears and neck immediately turn red, she chuckled mischievously.
Wei Ning blushed and gave her a reproachful look: "You're always bullying me."
Mingxi refused to admit it: "Who bullied you? Don't make false accusations."
Wei Ning looked at her accusingly. Ming Xi didn't feel embarrassed at all, and just raised her head and let him look at her.
Wei Ning stared at her for a while, then couldn't help but raise his hand and pat Mingxi's head.
Mingxi immediately retaliated, tapping him on the head again, and the two of them started playing like that in front of their house, taking turns tapping each other.
Finally, Zhao Sulan's voice calling Mingxi to eat interrupted their actions. Mingxi said, "My mom is calling me to eat. You should go home first."
She nudged Wei Ning, then turned and went home without a second thought.
Zhao Sulan came out carrying a bowl: "Who came just now? I heard someone knocking on the door?"
Mingxi: "Oh, it's Wei Ning. He came to bring me yogurt."
Mingxi casually placed the yogurt on the table, rolled up her sleeves, and started eating breakfast.
Zhao Sulan was quite worried. Was her daughter a little too heartless?
Her gaze fell on the yogurt that Mingxi had casually placed aside, and she couldn't help but sigh. She wanted to ask Mingxi what she thought of Wei Ning.
But remembering the unpleasantness she had with Mingxi about Wei Ning last time, Zhao Sulan didn't say anything.
Because of this, Zhao Sulan missed the chance to learn that Mingxi and Weining were dating.
In fact, Mingxi and Weining did not deliberately hide their relationship from the two of them. In fact, their behavior could be described as high-profile. They were always together, and Mingxi even abandoned her bicycle, waiting for Weining to pick her up and drop her off every day.
Even so, no one noticed anything amiss.
Even the usually perceptive Aunt He didn't notice anything unusual.
Haven't Mingxi and Weining always been inseparable?
I don't see any changes in them.
This left Wei Ning, who wanted to show off his love everywhere, feeling extremely frustrated. One day, when picking Ming Xi up from get off work, he complained in a clingy tone, "Why has no one noticed that we're dating? I was waiting for someone to ask, but no one has asked at all."
Mingxi gave him a strange look: "Why wait for someone else to ask?"
Wei Ning pretended to be embarrassed and said, "How could I tell others that we're dating if they don't ask?"
Actually, he was mainly unsure whether Mingxi was willing to let others know about this.
Although Wei Ning didn't say it explicitly, Ming Xi sensed something from his clingy attitude and looked at him with a smile: "What, do you want to tell others that we're dating?"
"Hmm." Wei Ning responded without saying anything, just staring straight at Ming Xi, looking aggrieved.
Mingxi said nonchalantly, "Go ahead and tell others if you want. It's not a secret."
Wei Ning was instantly happy, but before he could be happy for long, Ming Xi said, "Don't do this next time. Just say what you want to do or how you want to do it. We're a couple now, there's no need to hide things. I don't like guessing everything, it's so boring."
Mingxi is just like that; she likes to be straightforward and doesn't like Weining's roundabout way of speaking.
Wei Ning paused for a moment, then obediently nodded.
He wasn't one to beat around the bush, but he was more cautious and hesitant when facing Mingxi.
Mingxi sighed. Although Wei Ning didn't say anything, she could tell what he was thinking.
She stepped forward, took Wei Ning's hand, and said, "You're my boyfriend, not just anyone. You can tell me anything."
Wei Ning: "Okay."
At this moment, only Wei Ning himself knew how hard he had tried to control himself and prevent himself from losing his composure.
Mingxi is just so wonderful.
How lucky he is to be Mingxi's boyfriend.
